    The correct answer is d. an increase in total revenue.

    Explanation:

    In inelastic markets, demand is almost independent of price variations. Therefore, the best pricing strategy in this case is to increase the price to sell the same amount as before (that is, before the price increase), and maximize profit margins as a result.
